Tom's Antique Radio Repair


Lets Get That Old Radio of Yours Working Again!

Customer Comments



This radio is like new. Absolutely like new. Everything you've done for us has been top quality but this Zenith is flawless. The whole outside of this unit - the new, old-style power cord - the new dial-cover (where? how?) - the new antenna - even new felt washers behind the dials. The old parts always returned, just like a professional mechanic in any industry does - this is really impressive work, Tom.


Hi Tom - I just received the radio. I have to tell you, I was having a hard time paying that much for the restoration since it was more than the radio is worth, but it looks and sounds absolutely beautiful. My father is going to be absolutely thrilled when he sees it! I also appreciate you sending back the bad parts and including the schematic.

tom ,  i got my radio! and was as excited as a child on christmas when i saw how good it looks, sounds and performs !!  thanks, you did a great job.....better than i could have hoped for.


I received the radio yesterday.  I put it all back together and bolted it back into the chassis.  My dads face was absolutely priceless as he was tuning in stations.  I can't thank you enough.  It sounds beautiful.

I just wanted you to know what a great job you did restoring my Zenith radio. I listen to it often and will no doubt hand it down to one of my kids. Again great job,  thanks,


The radio you repaired for me just arrived this afternoon. It sounds like my first one did back in 1959 when it was new! I wish all the repairmen I need to hire will be as
professional and compitent as you are.

I am really pleased with the repair, the radio sounds as good as new. You get A+++++++ in positive feedback.


Got both radios this evening and enjoying then very much. It feels like a new radio, really smooth operation.


I received the radio today in the mail. It sounds better than it has in 20 years. The sound is clear and there is no crackling noise each time it is turned on. Thank you very much again for your fine work.


What a great job on the radio! It turned out better than I could have imagined. We have fun with receiving radio broadcasts from around the world. The neighborhood gals are coming tonight for book club and I can't wait to show it off!


I wanted to drop you an e-mail to let you know how pleased I am with your services. My old 1948 Philco not only looks great but it is filling my home with a sound that hasn't been heard for many years. The radio just looks and sounds terrific.


What a thrill to hear the radio play again. It is better now than when I first got it. Thanks for doing such a good job on the radio.


WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! Sorry Tom, but I just had to say it again.


I pulled that dude out of the box and plugged it in.  Hmmm... new power cord.  Hey, speaker covering new.  I plugged that dude in and powered her up!  It reminds me of my boyhood when we'd listen to the news on the radio.  Wow! that AM/FM switch has never worked better.  We have several AM "dinosaur" stations around here and I tuned into NPR.  Dave Ramsey, Dr. Laura Schelessenger, etc. has never sounded better.  (I actually PAID for XM satellite at one time that wasn't nearly this good!)     There is just something about a tube radio that cannot be duplicated by anything else.  I'm thinking of trashing my BOSE wave radio!  (Just kidding!)
